<p>I buy nitrile gloves from Costco. I put a drop or two of oil on them before I begin waxing. If they get sticky during the treatment, simply apply more oil. I also use these for facials. They are super thin so you can still feel the skin, but rarely rip. </p>

<p>Ideally the wax is touching the wax applicator, the client's skin, and the strip... and that's it. Your hands will be touching the surrounding skin, but you really shouldn't come in contact with the wax itself. You mentioned you are new to waxing, so all I can say is that I am a 1000% tidier waxed now than when I was in school in 2007. Technique is a big part of that, so I'm inclined to tell you to just change your gloves a lot now until you get more practice. For me, waxing in small…</p>

Technique is a big part of that, so I'm inclined to tell you to just change your gloves a lot now until you get more practice. For me, waxing in small sections, not overloading wax onto the applicator, and being mindful to lay a truly thin layer of wax are all key to not getting wax on my gloves. Now, I do think the tip about working a tiny drop of oil onto the surface of the gloves could help too. I'm going to try that next time I wax legs.</p> Awesome!

<p>Awesome! Buying those gloves then. I still won't be able to have my nails be even at active length, but at least they can be polished. :)</p>

<p>I have never had a client complain...only my boyfriend. LOL. Every person that found out I was using gloves said they had no idea and actually said they normally hate the feeling but they loved mine. These give such an awesome slip and are super thin. the only issue I get is they are a little baggy at the wrist and sometimes that part will roll up but never a huge issue and never affects the client. </p>

<p>I was wondering if clients notice the gloves when getting a facial. I would love to do that because then I can actually have my nails done! lol I worry that the clients will not like the feeling of gloved hands on their face though? Have you had any clients complain about it, or do they feel safer or what. I really would like to be able to wear gloves with every client, is it really possible? Thanks :)</p>

<p>For waxing, you want gloves that are tights and fit well. If you use vinyl gloves that are too big, it is just a disaster- the wax sticks to them and it was just frustrating. I know when I first started out I had that issue! I use Nitrile gloves because I don't like the smell of latex (I feel like it takes forever to scrub that smell off my hands) and there are a lot of people with latex allergies, so I don't want to risk that.</p>
<p><br/>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Claire thanks for posting, I remember using this product many years ago, didn't realize it was still being made. I wear gloves, but I hate the feeling! I hate the feeling on me whenever they are used! Would clients see the invisable gloves as protection for them, do you explain what you are using? It just so takes away the skin to skin sensation, and it's harder for me to feel direction of short hair, lack of experience in knowing what's normal in a particular area.</p>

<p>@ Gabriela-my preference is nitrile gloves but too darn expensive, so I use vinyl ones. Salley's in my area was having a sale this month on the black ones. 7.99 for 100. I also keep a box of latex and will use those if no allergy is listed but learned they didn't work so well on large areas, I use a tiny bit oil with whatever kind I'm wearing, and powder my hands to make getting on and off easier. The latex seems to stick and drag when adhering the strip.</p>
<p>One of the keys for me, is getting a tight fit.</p> Thanks!tag:skincareprofessionals.com,2012-06-20:6332291:Comment:938612012-06-20T03:04:19.750Zgabriela urenahttps://skincareprofessionals.com/profile/gabrielaurena
